The Nimrod is an maritime patrol plane that is more of a bomber plane with heat seeking Sidewinder air-to-air missiles for self defense instead of a actual fighter plane. B-52's with 50 caliber machine guns shot down North Vietnamese MIG fighters in 1972, that doesn't make the B-52 bomber (with machine guns) a fighter plane.

The world's biggest fighter plane is probably the F-14 Tomcat flown only by Iran (put in to storage in Arizona by the USA) or the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet flown by the US Navy and possibly other countries.
